TEAMS

Ryan Elementary is pleased to announce a new partnership with the University of Colorado’s Integrated Teaching and Learning Program, also know as the ITL program. Professor Lawrence Carlson and Mindy Zarskie of the School of Engineering met with us this week to set up the exciting new development for Ryan. Students from the First Year Engineering Projects Program, as part of their open ended design process, will be creating interactive science, math and engineering learning exhibits to be housed in our school. These exhibits will be created by 7 teams of student engineers in the University of Colorado program.

Students will visit our school, understand needs, and work within an engineering problem solving model to create their exhibits. Ryan students will then be able to interact with these designs in the main hallway at the school throughout the school year. We are very pleased to be working with CU in this area, as it fits so nicely with the TEAMS program already in place in our intermediate classrooms.
